<p>your scores are mediocre at best (not in the real world by any means, but in the yale pool)</p>

<p>Your GPA is good, but I'm sure >75% of the kids rejected will also have a 4.0</p>

<p>It just seems like there isn't much that stands out. </p>

<p>If you landed every SAT2 in the 700's and wrote an amazing essay, possibly, but im thinking your odds are not that great.</p>

<p>i totally agree with brassmonkey52088; "how are you able to DISTINGUISH yourself?" is the big idea, no matter what your numbers are</p>

<p>but as for your scores, they're fine</p>
